- 1). Talk to mutual family or friends. Even if they only know a previous address or former employer, it's a key starting point. If you are looking for a childhood friend, think back to the last place he lived -- be it your hometown or another city his family moved to when you were kids.
- 2). Conduct a public records search. You can go to any town's Clerk of Courts website and look up a person by name. Available information includes marriage or divorce documents, property deeds and any judgments filed against the person. Start with the last town she lived in, and then see if any of the documents have an updated address associated with them that takes you further on your search.
- 3). Initiate an online search by typing his name into one of the major search engines. The search may lead to information connected to his name like schools, career achievements or employers. The Internet is a hotbed of information on individuals, so an online search is also a good starting point.
- 4). Hire a professional investigator. If you need to find her in a hurry or for other critical reasons, paying a private detective may be worth the costs. Hire an investigator, who is trained to dig through various documents and who is willing to contact and interview people who know her. Investigators generally develop relationships with a variety of sources who have information about people that is not available to the public.
